Wright has frustrated fantasy owners this season, but if owners have remained patient with him, he put up a solid fantasy day in Week 7. With this performance, Wright, at the very least, has kept his bench spot on your roster.

Titans receiver Kendall Wright finally displayed what fantasy owners were hoping from him all year as he caught two touchdowns in Week 5 against the Browns.

sportsnetwork.com

Impact

Wright finished with six catches for 47 yards in his biggest fantasy day of 2014. The Titans also used Wright in the rushing game, giving him two carries, one of which he took for 38 yards. But with the uncertainty at quarterback, it will still be tough to start Wright with confidence.

Kendall Wright caught five passes for 50 yards in Week 17 against the Texans.

Rotoworld.com

Impact

Wright appeared in all 16 games this season and blew his rookie-year numbers from 2012 out of the water. He caught 94 passes for 1,079 yards and two touchdowns as a dynamic slot receiver that excels post-catch. Wright has developed into the Titans' clear No. 1 receiver, but his upside is capped a bit by the lack of end-zone visits. The Titans will look to upgrade at quarterback in the offseason, but Wright is locked in as a WR2 across the board. He obviously gets a bump in PPR formats.

Perhaps this explains why Wright's snaps were scaled back some in Sunday's loss to Denver, although the real drain on Wright's production was Broncos slot corner Chris Harris' shutdown coverage. Expect Wright to be in for a bounce-back game in Week 15 against a Cardinals defense that just lost primary slot defender Tyrann Mathieu to a season-ending knee injury.

It's the same routine Wright has been following for weeks. The target monster is a borderline WR2 in standard leagues, and high-end WR2 in PPR formats. Very few players should be in position to bench Wright for the first week of the fantasy playoffs.

News

Kendall Wright caught six balls for 77 yards in the Titans' Week 13 loss to Indianapolis.

Rotoworld.com

Impact

It was another highly efficient effort for slot receiver Wright, who overcame in-game elbow and ankle injuries. His big gain was a 35-yarder down the middle with a Colts linebacker in coverage. Wright has turned a corner in his career and is an every-week WR2/3 in fantasy, with additional value in PPR leagues. Keep rolling him out against the Broncos in Week 14.

Kendall Wright has been inside the opponent's 18-yard line on just four of his targets this season.

Mike Clay on Twitter

Impact

He's 1-for-1 on end-zone targets, per PFF's Mike Clay. This seems more like a hindsight than predictive stat, and somewhat fluky that the Titans' best receiver has been targeted so infrequently in scoring position. Only Wright's shortage of TDs has prevented him from flirting with WR1 value in standard league. He's an obvious, locked-in, every-week starter in PPR.

"He'd be the only guy on this team that has that option," Loggains said. "He's the only guy I've ever been a part of on a football team that has had that freedom to get where he needs to get." Ryan Fitzpatrick described Wright's style as "street-ballish." Wright has already eclipsed his rookie-season numbers and is third in the league in yards-after-catch with 448. He isn't finding the end zone, but he's been Fitzpatrick's go-to guy in critical situations. Wright dominates targets and is a legitimate WR2. He's our No. 20 receiver for Week 13.

Kendall Wright leads Titans to win at Oakland | 11/24/2013 7:27 PM

News

Kendall Wright caught six passes for 103 yards with a touchdown in Sunday's 23-19 Week 12 win at Oakland.

Rotoworld.com

Impact

It was a special performance from Wright. Consistently making tough catches over the middle and churning up extra yards with some serious fight, the second-year man came up huge on the game-winning drive with three catches for 41 yards and the score. Oddly enough, it was his first touchdown since Week 2 even though he's now averaging an impressive 5.9 catches for 69.3 yards on the season. The floodgates aren't going to suddenly open, but Ryan Fitzpatrick has not been a downgrade at all on Jake Locker. Wright is going to sustain WR3 value heading into a plus matchup with the reeling Colts in Week 13.

The nine catches matched Wright's career high, while the yards were his second most of the season. Wright worked the middle all night long, hauling in 9-of-12 looks. Frustratingly, the closest he came to the end zone was the Colts' 20-yard line. Delanie Walker got the Titans' lone passing touchdown. Wright's lack of scores cap his fantasy upside, but averaging a weekly 6.3 catches for 72 yards since a slow Week 1, he's a WR3 who won't hurt you with doughnuts.

Although Wright isn't getting into the end zone much, he continues to flirt with WR2 value in PPR leagues as the clear-cut No. 1 option in the Titans' passing game. He is explosive when OC Dowell Loggains schemes Wright into space. Keep riding Wright when Tennessee takes on Indianapolis in Week 11.

Munchak: Kendall Wright is 'special' | 11/06/2013 11:27 PM

Titans coach Mike Munchak described Kendall Wright as "special" and "a great weapon for us."

"If I was a quarterback, I'd be looking at him every snap probably. He's special," Munchak said. "I think he's a guy that's just going to get better and better. He's hard to cover, he's a tough matchup, and he's quick. He gets off press really quick." Now entrenched as Tennessee's clear No. 1 pass-game option, Wright is on pace for 86 receptions and 1,004 yards at the season's midway point. And we wouldn't be the least bit surprised if those numbers rose in the second half.

Kendall Wright goes for 69 yards in Week 9 | 11/03/2013 4:08 PM

News

Kendall Wright caught three balls for 69 yards in the Titans' Week 9 win over the Rams.

Rotoworld.com

Impact

Wright's big play came on a 45-yard quick slant in the fourth quarter. The Titans had very little passing success against the Rams, limiting the box-score numbers of all Tennessee pass catchers. Wright will remain a solid WR3 play in Week 10 against the Jaguars.

Both numbers were career-highs. Wright was targeted a game-high 12 times but isn't a big-play threat. The second-year receiver remains the safest receiver to own in Tennessee, though, as the lone consistent producer. Wright's value is higher in PPR formats, but he's nothing more than a WR3.

Wright also had a 25-yard rush on a fumble recovery, but it was overturned on review.

Impact

Wright missed some snaps with what appeared to be a hip injury, but otherwise gave Kansas City fits in the slot and proved a good match for Ryan Fitzpatrick's noodle arm once FitzMagic settled in. Clearly the Titans' best receiver at this point, Wright will be a low-end WR3 option in Week 6 against Seattle. He should avoid LCB Richard Sherman's shutdown coverage.

With Kenny Britt inactive, Wright played the second-most snaps behind Nate Washington (56). Damian Williams was third with 31 and Justin Hunter saw just 14. It confirms that the Titans see Wright as capable of playing both Britt's X spot and inside as a slot man. The bad news is that Ryan Fitzpatrick is going to take over for at least the next few weeks, leaving Wright with even less big-play potential than he already had.

Kendall Wright played the second-most snaps (45) among the Titans wideouts in Sunday's win over the Chargers.

Jim Wyatt on Twitter

Impact

With Kenny Britt (zero receptions on 38 snaps) imploding, Wright's stock is rising. He's the Titans' best weapon after the catch and is now playing in some two-wide sets. Wright has posted 13 catches for 125 yards with one touchdown over the last two weeks, putting himself on the back end of the WR3 radar as the bye weeks approach.

Kendall Wright caught six passes for 71 yards in the Titans' Week 3 win over San Diego.

Rotoworld.com

Impact

He's now caught six balls in back-to-back games, putting Wright on the WR3 radar. He caught all six of his targets against the Chargers. Wright has some playmaking ability, though his quarterback and the Titans' run-heavy offense limit his fantasy appeal. He's a low-end starter.

Barring a recurrence of symptoms on Saturday or Sunday morning, Wright will be in the lineup for Tennessee's Week 3 matchup with San Diego. Wright is not a recommended WR3 despite last week's seven receptions and touchdown.

Wright has yet to practice this week, but will evidently be cleared on Friday. He's still nothing more than a desperation WR4 for fantasy purposes.

Impact

Wright led the Titans in receiving across the board a week after playing just 19 snaps and operating as the No. 4 receiver. On Sunday, Wright was the No. 1 guy. Damian Williams was out with a hamstring injury, while Kenny Britt continued to be a knucklehead. Wright's touchdown catch was slick. He was draped by Brice McCain on a third down but secured the grab near the pylon for a six-yard score. Wright is going to struggle for consistency in a run-first attack.

Titans OC Dowell Loggains expects Kendall Wright to be "more involved moving forward" after he played just 19-of-67 snaps in Sunday's win.

Nashville Tennessean

Impact

Wright was frozen out of two-receiver sets against the Steelers, but the Titans should use far more three-wide looks against the Texans. Tennessee isn't going to control the game the way it did in Pittsburgh, and is going to need more than 16 points to win. Week 1 could go down as Wright's lowest snap count of the season.

Kendall Wright played on just 19-of-67 offensive snaps in Sunday's Week 1 upset of the Steelers.

Jim Wyatt on Twitter

Impact

The Titans exclusively used Kenny Britt (43 snaps) and Nate Washington (38) in two-wide sets. When running out of a single-wide set, they used blocker Damian Williams (27). It left Wright without much of a role as the Titans shockingly controlled the clock and the scoreboard with the run game. There are better days ahead, but owners in normal-sized leagues can find more upside on the waiver wire.

Wright only played in three-wide sets, which there weren't very many of as the Titans nursed a lead for virtually the entire game. He ended up with just four targets on Jake Locker's 20 pass attempts. We still like Wright's natural talent as a playmaker, but he's going to struggle for fantasy value with a weak role in an inconsistent passing game.

Munchak's optimism suggests that the second-year man is near a return to full practice even though he won't suit up in the preseason finale.

According to the Nashville Tennessean, "early indications" are Kendall Wright has avoided a ligament tear in his right knee.

Jim Wyatt on Twitter

Beat writer Jim Wyatt believes Wright suffered a sprain as opposed to an ACL tear, which would be fantastic news after the second-year wideout admitted he was "pretty worried" about the injury. Wright is undergoing an MRI on Saturday night. A sprained MCL or something of that nature would only cost him 2-4 weeks. A torn ligament would have knocked Wright out for the year.

Wright is undergoing an MRI on Sunday after limping off the field and being carted to the locker room against the Bengals. Wright believes he has a sprain, but that could obviously mean anything. It's terrible timing for the 2012 first-rounder, who's been turning heads in camp. A significant injury would throw inconsistent rookie Justin Hunter into the fire.

Nashville Tennessean

Impact

Per beat writer Jim Wyatt, Wright looked "faster and quicker" after shedding 15 pounds from his rookie playing weight of 201. The Titans hope to make their 2012 first-rounder a focal point of the offense after he caught 64 passes for 626 yards and four touchdowns as a rookie. It might not translate to a dramatic increase in fantasy value with the erratic Jake Locker under center, and Kenny Britt and second-rounder Justin Hunter also fighting for scraps.

Kendall Wright has dropped 14 pounds this offseason after playing near 201 as a rookie.

titansonline.com

Impact

Wright is listed at 196. "I just started taking care of my body and eating right," Wright said. 201 pounds is a bit bulky for a 5-foot-10 receiver, but 187 is about right. The weight Wright plays at this season shouldn't be a perceptible factor in his production. He'll likely tip the scales somewhere in the 190s. Wright is expected to be a "significant" part of the Titans' game-plan after posting a lukewarm 64/626/4 line last season.

Impact

Wright ranked second on the team in receiving yards (626) and tied for the lead in touchdown catches (4), but ultimately disappointed in the box score. It seemed to use like old OC Chris Palmer tried to use Wright as a space player, but it didn't work out. Wright's bread and butter at Baylor was vertical bombs from RG3, as he created consistent separation from Big defensive backs.
